Please note:
- Consultants are self-employed and serve as agents of Council. Schools will be invoiced by CReSTeD for the visit fee plus a standard cost of £228 per consultant to cover expenses. The fee covers all costs associated with the visit including the consultant(s) fee, travel and accommodation expenses, regardless of location within the UK.
- Smaller schools (less than 50 pupils) will be visited by one consultant, regardless of the category applied for.
- The cost of subsequent visits is met from the Annual Registration Fees, however, additional visits conducted because of a significant alteration to the provision within the school will incur a fee.
- Council reserves the right to send two consultants in exceptional circumstances.
- Centres relate to establishments operating independently of any school, not units operating within the school environment.
